dc.description.abstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) has been associated with several extrahepatic disorders including mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC), autoimmune thyroiditis, Sjogren's syndrome. Such associations have led to the suggestion that HCV may participate in the development of various immunmediated disorders. Recently, it has been hypothesised that HCV might act as a trigger for the development of monoclonal B-cell disorders such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Discordant data have been reported in different geographic regions of the world. The aim of this prospective case-control study was to detect the prevalence of HCV in patients with NHL in southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. In this study, HCV antibody prevalence and cryoglobulinemia were investigated in 119 patients with histologically diagnosed NHL. The control group consisted of 117 patients who visited the outpatient clinic of internal medicine. None of the patients had HCV antibody positive (0%) with the enzyme immunoassay and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). One of the control patients had positive HCV antibody (0.9%). Our data does not support the association between HCV infection and NHL in southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey.en_US
